The Wagner Killing.

The Mingo News thinks there is room
for investigation into the Wagner killing
as to whether he was in reality run over
by the cars or another victim of the Italian
thugs. 1t says: "As we go to press we
are informed that Mr.. Wagner received a
letter, bearing a S%teubenville post mark,
last evening, and signed by one P. Duffy,
stating that he knew Wagner to have been
murdered, and could furnish the proof
thereof. The letter was no doubt written
for the purpose of extracting money. As
to the action Mr.. Wagner intends taking
in the matter, he seems very reticent, but
no doubt a thorough investigation will be
made"

Mr.. J. BrilIes, our manager, reports the
following inventory of goods yet on hands;

- Boys Suits, cost from s. to ST.,
$50 Mems Suits, cost from s. to SIS,
400 Overcoats, cost from S3 to $50.
This amount seems large TO be disposed
of in one weeks time, but sold they must be
by April ID, which we think can easily he
accomplished by cutting the prices down to
less than one-half the actual cost. You
will never again have such 4 chance. We
will, therefore, request you to call early,
examine our goods and prices, which will
certainly convince You that We mean what
we say. We have selected 100 light col
ored spring suits, costing from $40 to $1S,
of which we offer You choice for only s..
We have five special clerks for to-day, and
we will try to give our attention to all
who favor us with a call.
